Phase Technology HP890i User Manual

Hp890i, Open-ceiling speaker

Key Features

• Patented BroadBeamHP

waveguide

technology delivers a consistent disper-

sion pattern for maximum intelligibility

and edge-to-edge coverage (up to 8 kHz,

independently verified).

• One 203 mm (8 in.) treated fiber woofer

and one 36 mm (1.42 in.) compression

driver (1.0 inch exit) mounted to a pro-

prietary cast-aluminum M8

™

baffle and

heat sink.

• High output (115.0 dB) and 120-watt

transformer for the sound reinforcement

and PA markets.

• Average sensitivity of 94.0 dB offers

high output capabilities and reduced

amplification costs.

• Weatherized components for indoor and

outdoor applications.

• Patented ZeroReflection™ enclosure

technology for optimal sound reproduc-

tion and cabinet rigidity.

• Includes hanging hardware with

aircraft cables and integrated Speed-

Clamp

™

self-locking wire grip for

fast, easy and secure installation. Also

includes Euroblock connector and ter-

minal weather boot.

• UL 1480 and 2239 (hanging cable)

approved.

• Easy-access five-position selectable tap

switch for 25-, 70.7- and 100-volt applica-

tions with voice coil direct position sim-

plifies ordering and inventory tracking.

• Optional accessory: AC-RS-SM8 bracket

for surface-mount applications.

• High-quality black or white paint finish.

Custom paint colors optional.

Description

The HP890i is a premium 8-inch, two-

way, ported, high-efficiency, high-SPL

loudspeaker for distributed or 8 ohm

applications. The HP890i incorporates a

dedicated 8-inch treated-fiber driver and

high-power compression transducer with

a BroadBeamHP® waveguide to deliver a

consistent dispersion pattern and superb

intelligibility for the foreground music,

sound reinforcement and PA markets.

The HP890i incorporates a 120-watt trans-

former with a five-position rotary switch

with a voice coil direct position. Hanging

hardware is included and features a fast-

action SpeedClamp™ for easy and secure

installation.
